the debate about unions has focused on money, pay scales, union dues, but i think the crisis in the union movement goes oh so much deeper. here's my take on attitude. an us versus them approach does not work in the modern world. but that is the mentality of the unions today. what i picked up is hostility, a stick it to them way of thinking. this is one reason why so much of our manufacturing industry has gone overseas, us and them. hopeless. in so many industries, the union contract with its rigid workplace rules, we only do this and you only do that, that stifles creativity and efficiency. see what happened to the twinkie? some teamster delivery trucks were not allowed to carry some of the hostess products, so they had to send two trucks, good-bye twinkie. you listen to those guys fighting in michigan and it sounds like a rally at a steel plant in 1952. listen to the language: solidarity, workers rights, fight. watching those guys makes me feel like i am in a time warp. so isn't this michigan revolution an opportunity for unions to reinvent themselves? not as the enemy of management, but
